This is how I built up my 4th block of WIL.
It is made up off hurried cut out strips to show you? Not colours I’d use together for my quilt but just to show how I did it? I’ve run out of my original fabrics?
Design area covered by a teflon is sheet pinned
Iron down main stem, stems I turned at the edges I ironed on a strip of iron on fussing, so all stems can be ironed down.
Next stem added and pressed in place
More stems added
Then final stem, keep in mind this is a rough job just to share, or I’d be here all night doing this?
Now I leave it to get real cold and hardened in to shape and those cross over areas are really glued together, gently peel off and move on to my black back ground, I have my pattern drawn on to a sheet of baking paper and place this on top to get a perfect line up. There you have it. Hope it helps, I do use lots of different ways for different projects but use this way to make up most of my flowers and houses.
I made up my happy dancing flowers this way?
My stems for block 4 of WIL carefully lifted of the teflon sheet to the background then iron down?
Clever way to do it, thanks for sharing!
Hi Fred, hope you are finally having lots of funny warm days but believe the cold weather is hanging around up North????? Sadly our wet monsoon season is till hanging around and we are all getting frustrated with it, constant mould that is causing lots of problems. This time of the year is meant to be very dry and it is normally all killed off? Even some of my fabric has got mould on it????? Plays my lovely wool jumpers? But I still find time to sew and catch up with other quilter from around the globe? Happy stitching Cheers Glenda.
Thanks for sharing your tips. Always good to learn how others prep things.
Oh my! Wish I had read this a week ago! Even though my Lily background is light, the mottled effect makes it difficult to see the pattern clearly even with the light box up to its highest. And I have one of those sheets! Just did not think.
A pity about your jumper. And such a nice color, too. Well it will be mightily decorated.
200 1/2 squares. Are there really that many? Or do you have something special planned? Glad you have your machine back.
Hi Lennea Still sewing or I should say mending my last jumper??? I keep finding another hole? LOL To day working on WIL. It’s such a fun and beautiful design, I still ahve a lot of applqiue to be sewn down have my machine set up in anew spot so it is easier to sit down at any time, so hope this works better for me. What are you up to ????
